Arlington Reservoir, East Sussex
Circumstances were such that I only had time for an evening walk around Arlington reservoir. With bright sunshine and less breeze today, conditions couldn't have been better.
- 12 black-tailed godwits feeding by the waters edge made for a good start.
- The Canada geese dominated proceedings as they moved around in large flocks and making a hell of a racket as they went. All in all there must have been over 200 of them.
- 30+ pied wagtails is the most I have ever seen here or anywhere else in the country. One of them looked like a good candidate for white wagtail.
- There were a couple of common sandpipers at the dam end.
- Hirundines in the form of swallows and sand martins provided a lovely interlude as I approached the dam.
- Among the rest there was at least 2 little egrets, 3 pochard, a willow warbler, a black cap and 3 green woodpeckers.
Lots of birds in a fabulous setting, with exercise thrown in as a bonus!
